| Title | Letter from Mary Richardson, third wife of Sir John Richardson, to Eleanor Isabella Gell, on Richardson's belief that he has done all he can in terms of advice to the Admiralty as regards further search expeditions |
| Date | 26 Nov 1855 |
| Description | Sir John Richrdson having suggested all he can to her with his letter to the Admiralty, saying any advice volunteered by any naval officer would only give offence, but if the Lords of the Admiralty were to consult him again, he could give his opinion as in his expedition report; he is not without hope from last summer's search by Mr Rae, whom he thinks better fitted than himself to continue the search. |
